Delphinium

Delphiniums are certainly a popular choice as well. These gorgeous flowers come in some brilliant blue colors. As a result, they are sure to be one of the best blooms in your garden! They thrive in zone 3-7 and love hearty, rich soil. Delphiniums require regular moisture to grow healthy and strong. These spikes covered in blooms will brighten up any garden.

Wisteria

However, these vines can get pretty heavy so they require a sturdy structure to climb. Not just any old trellis will do for the beautiful Wisteria. They grow best in zones 4-9.

Dahlia

Dahlias also grows some of the best blooms! Dahlias are knows for their large, dinner plate size blooms and bright colors. These gorgeous plants prefer full sun and need to be started indoors in cooler areas than zone 5.

Foxglove

The final flower on this list is Foxglove. Bumblebees adore Foxglove and the tubular flowers it grows. This particular plant is grown most commonly in zones 4-8. It is actually a biennial plant that blooms one season and produces foliage the next.
